In a press release dated December 6, 2010, the Company announced its intention to amend its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and to restate its results of operations and financial condition as of and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The Company also stated its intention to file its amended Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2010, with the Securities and Exchange Commission before December 31, 2010.
The filing of the above reports is contingent upon the completion of a thorough review of the Company’s loan portfolio and related allowance for loan losses.
